Ok, going to respond to the easiest part first.

That is actually expected behaviour for symlinks. Because you had a
slash at the end of the directory, you dereference the symlink first, so
you get the directory entry in both cases.

% ln -s vpac vpac2
% ls -l vpac2 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 brian brian 4 Jan 18 13:12 vpac2 -> vpac
% ls -id vpac2/
7476864 vpac2/
% ls -id vpac/ 
7476864 vpac/
% ls -id vpac2 
22807075 vpac2
